The disclosure of which McCabe was accused of authorizing came in October 2016, around the time Comey would announce the FBI was resuming its probe of Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. At the time, Devlin Barrett then a reporter at the Wall Street Journal was preparing a story on the bureaus handling of that case and another investigation into the Clinton family foundation. McCabe felt the story would portray him and the FBI unfairly, so he authorized two other FBI officials to give Barrett his account. Barrett now works for The Washington Post.
Background conversations with reporters in Washington are commonplace, and McCabe had the authority, as the FBIs deputy director, to authorize them. But the inspector general came to conclude he was acting out of self interest, and that violated FBI policy.
Maybe he will get a plea deal and start cooperating.
my understanding is that when he was ask under oath about the "leak" he lied about it. Seems he should of simply said he couldn't answer the question in an open hearing.
Fox News reporter Adam Housley reported on Twitter tonight about the firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, stating his sources were telling him that in the past few days McCabe threatened to take people down with him if he was fired. Housley also reported that the Inspector General-Office of Professional Responsibility report had uncovered tons of stuff on McCabe unrelated to the Trump investigation and that McCabes firing was a morale boost to FBI agents
Trump has nothing to do with Russian attempts at interfering in the election but that hasn't stopped you and most of the Dem party from claiming he did.
And how's he acting?
